The TIVFD Structure Protection Unit (SPU) Auxiliary is already Gearing Up for this Summer’s Wildfire Season.
Now is a good time for you to also get prepared, by safely clearing off your roof, and cleaning out gutters. In the event of a wildfire, embers can be blown downwind and easily ignite dry leaves, needles, cones and other debris in gutters and on your roof. Clean gutters also help to reduce mosquito breeding habitat.
